BetVictor Southern League Premier Division Central - kick-off 3 pm

It's going to be a hot one, so bring a sun hat and sun cream and drink plenty of water!

There is limited parking on site within the ground, but a large free public car park in front of Burgess Hall which is immediately adjacent to the ground.

Stourbridge visited St Ives for the first time just over eleven months ago and that particular contest ended goal-less with Robbie Thompson-Brown having a penalty saved with around an hour played as the Glassboys were thwarted by some resiliant home defending.

The return fixture came at the end of March 2019 and again ended in a draw with St Ives equalising later on to secure a point.

St Ives opened the new season with a 1 - 1 draw at home to Tamworth, but have since been beaten twice on the road. A 1 - 0 midweek loss at Lowestoft being followed by a 2 - 0 defeat at Biggleswade Town last Saturday, so boss Ricky Marheineke will be looking for his side to get a win on the board.

The Glassboys, meanwhile, will be out to put last Saturday's home defeat to Hednesford Town firmly behind them and deliver a much improved performance.
